Sunday Baseball.

ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL'I
NASHVILLE, TENN, May IAN in
quiry is being made into the constitu-
tionality of the bill passed two yeael
ago prohibiting the playing OF base
ball on Sunday. The legal counsrs
for the Baseball Association, Mr.. john
]. Vertrees, claims that there was IL
regularity in The manner of the pas
cage of the bill. A reporter visited
the Office OF the Secretary OF State,
and found Senate bill No. $50,
which, by the Endorsements on
the back, was shown to have passed
first reading March goth, second read
ing March 2lst and third reading
April LIST. This is also correctly shown
by the Senate journal. The House
journal, the reporter was informed by
Mr.. Tanner, shows that the came bill
passed first re ,ding in the House on
April Sd and third reading the next day,
April 4th. The law requires that bill
to become law shall pass three sepa-
rate readings on three separate daye.
Senator Mcdowell, the author Of the
bill, has also examined the bill, and
uAls Eoyp Ohob hO OialDb bhhb
the bill was passed regularly, for the
ra'on that there YVES a House
bill, No. 223, which had passed two
readings, and that a substitution
was effected, as is often done, which
he thinks explains the fact that no
mention is made of the passage OF the
Senate bill on second reading. Mr..
John Morrow, president of the South
ern league, said that they had found
enough irregularities in the passage
of the bill to kill it. He said
the most /. important point dis
covered was that the record showed
that the bill passed it's first reading on
the second day OF the month and it's
third reading on the third day, thus
leaving no intervening day for It's Sec
ond reading, which is in direct viola
ton OF the constitution. Mr.. Morrow
said that they were ready for test of
the matter in the courts, and were
only waiting for the grand jury to
bring in an Indictment.

The first game OF this series between
the Memphis and Mobile club was
played yesterday afternoon, and in
the presence of sbou, 600 persons. The
home team had a regular walk over
and a picnic besides, making thirty
eight runs, while their opponents sue
ceeded in sending only eight men
across the plate. The visitors started
off as If they meant business, but
when the Browns made five runs in
the second inning, they went to pieces,
and during the balance of the game
they could not stop or field a ball.
The members If the home team
lad no trouble in getting to bases,
and after getting on first they had no
trouble in getting around. Kelly
pitched for the Swamp Angels" and
was completely swamped. The locals
Lit on to his delivery from the start,
and in the fourth inning knocked him
cut of the box, aud he retired from
the field and the game amid applause
Lang, who had bean Catching. went
into the box, while McKenna,
who had been signed recently, went
behind the bat. McKenna is
very small in stature and the uniform
he wore was altogether too large for
him. The crowd gave him the laugh
but he got even by catching a good
game, hitting hard and coaching like
an old timer. Smith pitched for
Memphis and did splendid work, being
ably supported by Crotty and the
balance OF the team. After the fourth
inning, when Memphis had a COM
handing lead, he eased up on his de-
livery and allowed the visitors to make
a few hits and runs. Memphis YVES
seventy times at bat, and made IL
base hits, with total of 81 bases.
There were no especial features. An
dIews sent the ball over the
fence twice for home runs, and
Doyle did likewise for one, his frat
this season. A detailed account of the
game would be wesrisome to the read
ers of the APPEAL and therefore it is
not given. Suffice it to say, that til e
"Swamp Angels" were "swamped."

means, although they did some fair
work today. At the bat both
are lsmentably weak. Jack Brennan is
a good catcher, but he did not appear
to put much energy in his work, and
played poor game. One cause, prob
ably, was the fact that he was hand
ling the cratic delivery OF Aydelotte,
which is both swift and wild. The
lstter's box work was not what
the public were. led to expect.

The big pitcher made up for all mia
takes in the box by making some ter
rife drives, which opened the eyes
of the Pelican's big first base
man. The throwing OF Nicholas
on two occasions and his catches
of foul flies were superb. The playing
of both teams was very good, and

senator Hoar and Thucvdldes.


The Providence Journal informs us
that Senator HoAR, of Massachusetts,
sis occupying his leisure time with a
translation Of THUCYDmEs." We are
glad 10 hear it. There is no man in
public life to whom we would more
strongly recommend study of the
great Greek historian. THUCYDIDEs was
an advanced thinker and an intimate
acquaintance with his writings might
enable Mr.. HoAR "to keep up with the
procession" Indeed THUCYDDEs was
exactly what the Massachusetts, senator
is NOT. We are told that the history of
the Peloponnesian war is work dis
tinguished for its accuracy and histori-
cal insight. Whenever Dir. HoAR has
touched upon the late civil war
his utterances have been distinguished
by inst the contrary. Again A we'll
known commentator on the Greek his
torian says that he seems to have been
sll Judgment and no passion. An
other declares that there was nothing
resentful in his constitution. I'm
less the wicked reporters have
grossly n,isrepresented Senator HoAR
every time he has spoken
lately his lack Of judgment and
his partisan zeal have caused him to
wind himself up completely; while if
he is not resentful he certainly has a
very poor way of showing the fact By
all means let Mr.. HoAR stick to his self
imposed task. He is not wanting in
either brains or education. He is SIM
ply behind the times and blinded by
sectional prejudice. BY imhbing the
calm, philosophic, and impartial Thuy-
cydidesn spirit it is possible that his
meatal vision may be cleared, and that
he may become q statesman yet.

Rivers and Harbors.

We do not at all approve the policy
of appropriating in lump the money
set apart for the Improvement OF rivers
and harbors, and then leaving it to the
Government officials TO designate how
and where il shall be expended. Con-
gress ought not thus TO abdicate Its
functions. The members of the House
of Representative come from all the
districts in the United States, and
know the wants of their con
stituents. The members OF the Cabi'
net are not half so well informed
an 10 what is needed III any
given locality-especially those local.
ties which are thousand miles OF
more distant from the capital
The millions that ought to he
expended upon the Mississippi
river can never be secured out
of lump appropriation of seven mil
lions of dollars. New York city never
looks beyond her nose, and has theory
of her own rs to how Government
money ought to be expended-namely,
in identifying and fortifying that city
and she has a happy knack of getting
Government officials to agree with hel
in that theory.
River and harbor bills, we repeat,
should be perfected by Congressman
blocked out and then turned over to the
tender mercies Of Government officials.
